5. Summer/Winter Short Education Programs

MG provides short education programs in the United States. The programs are one of the best ways to experience studying and living in the States. They are tailored to people with different backgrounds and different requirements. Some people attend the MG education programs to improve their English and prepare to study abroad later on; while others take advantage of this opportunity to learn about life and culture in the united states, which not only makes them more competitive in the work places, but also helps them learn how to communicate and collaborate with people from different cultures.

The following are the three main different types of short programs that we offer.

• Type I (students 16+ and young adults): these programs are geared towards high school students and college students. The programs are usually 2-8 weeks long, which provide participants opportunities not only to take academic lessons in American high schools or colleges but also to take part in cultural activities.

• Type II (students age 12-17): These 2-4 weeks long programs like summer camps are geared towards middle school and high school students. Chaperons will accompany students 24/7, including boarding, transportation, taking classes as well as city tours. Students’ safety is our top priority.

• Type III (adults and professionals): these programs can vary from weeks to months. They provide opportunities for people who want to further improve their English and communication skills as well as their understanding of the western cultures. One of the highlights of these programs is we offer the participants all kinds of local cultural activities. By participating in those activities, students have the best learning experience and best outputs that nowhere else they could get.
